Technical & Legal English Instruction
The English Your Career Actually Demands
Specialized Business English instruction for working professionals in legal, engineering, and technical industries — taught by an instructor who has lived and worked in those fields.
Lesson Topics
Specialized Business English instruction grounded in real industry experience
Legal English
For legal professionals, in-house counsel, patent attorneys, and business professionals who work with legal teams
If your work involves contracts, litigation, intellectual property, or regulatory compliance, you need precise, confident English — not just general business communication.
Drawing on experience at an AmLaw 200 law firm and over 1,300 patent applications analyzed, TLE Legal English lessons are built around the documents and situations you actually encounter.
Topics covered:
-
Civil discovery procedures and terminology
-
Reading and interpreting patent claims
-
Contract language and key clauses
-
Legal correspondence and memoranda
-
Communicating legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders
Technical English
For engineers, scientists, researchers, and technical professionals who need to communicate complex ideas in English
Technical expertise means little if it can't be communicated clearly to executives, clients, or international colleagues.
As a patent-holding engineer who has worked across aerospace, financial technology, and R&D environments, I teach technical professionals how to bridge the gap between deep expertise and clear business communication.
Topics covered:
-
Writing for non-technical audiences
-
Presenting technical ideas in English
-
Technical reports and business cases
-
Pitching innovations to stakeholders
-
Cross-functional team communication
Business English Foundations
For working professionals at CEFR B2–C1 level who need stronger English for meetings, negotiations, emails, and presentations
Not every professional works in law or engineering — but every professional needs to communicate with confidence in English.
TLE Business Foundations lessons cover the core communication skills that drive career advancement, taught with the same practical, industry-grounded approach that runs through everything TLE does.
Topics covered:
-
Contract language for non-lawyers
-
Professional email and report writing
-
Presentations and public speaking in English
-
Negotiation language and strategies
-
Cross-cultural business communication
IELTS Exam Prep
For working professionals at CEFR B1–C1 level who either want to immigrate to an English-speaking country (general training exam) or attend an English-speaking university or pursue professional registration (academic exam)
Many people want to immigrate to another country where the official language is English. Others might simply want to study abroad in an English-speaking university or pursue professional registration (e.g. architect). The IELTS exam is a well-established exam testing the four skills for both types of people.
TLE IELTS lessons cover the four main communication skills - listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
Topics covered:
-
Listening
-
Reading (general training and academic)
-
Writing (general training and academic)
-
Speaking
Why TLE?
1
Real Industry Experience
Most Business English instructors teach from textbooks. I teach from nearly 30 years of real experience in patent offices, law firms, aerospace companies, and financial technology environments. When we work on legal English, we use real documents. When we practice technical communication, the scenarios are drawn from industries I know firsthand.

Testimonials
I am writing on behalf of Jason Antonino. It has been my pleasure to have known Jason since late 2013 where he performed his job as a senior patent analyst at Global Patent Solutions.
Jason has the knowledge, dedication, professionalism, and personality that colleagues admire and companies desire.
I was able to get to know Jason professionally when I became his direct supervisor in 2016. Jason’s self-motivation and ambition were leagues above many of his peers in this role.
Jason functioned well in his role due to his exceptional technical knowledge on business methods and marketing techniques, his abstract thinking, and ability to convey complex concepts in a simple manner for those of ordinary skill in the art to understand.
Jason’s success as a senior patent analyst was only surpassed by his unrivaled energy to succeed in-and-out of the job description. Jason is easy to talk to and is a quick learner. He is always willing to take on extra work to help the team.
Jason Antonino would be an invaluable asset to any team and I can wholeheartedly give my highest recommendation to his strength of character, his moral and ethical values, and his professionalism.
